iShowSpeed has made headlines at nearly every major football event he has attended, but his latest viral moment at the 2026 FIFA World Cup had nothing to do with goals or celebrations. The popular streamer accidentally occupied New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's labelled seat during the Group C clash between Brazil and Morocco at MetLife Stadium on 13 June — and had absolutely no idea.
What left fans in stitches was the realisation that the 21-year-old streamer had been sitting just inches away from the 112th Mayor of New York City for the majority of the match without ever noticing who his seat-mate was. It was not Speed himself who figured it out — it was the million-plus viewers watching his livestream.
